Chapter 147: Duan Feng
August 29, 1900, eleven o'clock in the evening.
Outside Helen Hainan Town, the cavalry regiment led by Yue Xiaodong finally completed the siege of the town.
"Duan Feng, the next battle will be handed over to your three battalions, you must understand, this is the first battle of our cavalry regiment this time, not only can we not afford to lose, but we also have to win beautifully, otherwise, you, the acting battalion commander, will be done to the end." Yue Xiaodong said solemnly.
The cavalry regiment was directly expanded from a battalion-level unit into a regiment, according to the practice of the Black Dragon Army, then the main officers of several battalions, from the battalion company commander, platoon commander, and even squad leader, should be transferred from the old cavalry battalion to serve as officers, but Duan Feng is an exception, he joined the cavalry regiment for a total of five days, and was directly appointed by Yue Xiaodong as the acting battalion commander of the third battalion, and he has not even fought a battle for the Black Dragon Army, killed an old man, but there must be a reason for Yue Xiaodong to do this.
First of all, Duan Feng's background is not ordinary, he is a descendant of the Duan family of the Bingcheng martial arts family, the Bingcheng Duan family and the Hailan Pao Yue family, they are all prominent families in the three eastern provinces, and their ancestors have produced more than one general, and the fate of the Duan family is almost the same as the Yue family, the Duan family is unwilling to move away from the old mansion in Bingcheng, and make room for Lao Maozi to build a railway, and was finally uprooted by Lao Maozi, only a few people escaped the catastrophe, there is no doubt that Duan Feng is one of the lucky ones.
Since then, Duan Feng fled to Moling Town, Bei'an, and became a bandit, and his brothers have grown to more than 300 people in less than a year, and they are also well-known bandits in Bei'an, but when Yue Xiaodong took the banner of the Black Dragon Army and incorporated the green forest of Bei'an, Duan Feng took the initiative to agree. Voluntarily accept the reorganization of the Black Dragon Army, and at the same time give Moling Town away. This made Yue Xiaodong look at Duan Feng with admiration.
Of course, if only that's the case. Yue Xiaodong did not directly appoint Duan Feng as the acting battalion commander, in fact, there are two other reasons, one is that Duan Feng is not only a good person, but also a good gun, and more importantly, he has actually drunk Western ink and is a serious high-achieving student who graduated from the famous German Army Academy.
This second reason is precisely because Duan Feng has good skills and a clean background. So he was taken by the special combat team, Chen Jinjiang even talked to Duan Feng in person, so Yue Xiaodong was naturally anxious, he finally found a person who was pleasing to the eye, or a serious military academy graduate, how could he let the special combat team take it away, but the key is that the special combat team still has this privilege. Because this is a rule that has been set by Yue Weihua since the establishment of the Black Dragon Army, no one can openly violate it.
But Duan Feng and Yue Xiaodong were really reluctant to let go, so there was only one way left. That is, Duan Feng was directly appointed as the commander of the main battalion, because there are only officers above the main battalion level, and the special combat team has no right to directly transfer people. However, the appointment of officers at the battalion level also required the approval of the General Staff, so they had to add an agent first. And if you want to get rid of the word agent, you must have a good feat. Therefore, Yue Xiaodong deliberately handed over this battle to Duan Feng tonight.
Duan Feng is twenty-five years old this year, and he is a person who has experienced ups and downs, not only has a high force value, but also has a low IQ, and naturally understands the intention of Yue Xiaodong's instructions, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, it's not just the old man of the battalion, Duan Feng will definitely not let the regiment commander down." ”
"That's good."
Yue Xiaodong was also a lot relieved to see that Duan Feng was so confident, after all, although the contact time was not long, he also knew that Duan Feng was not a person who liked to talk big.
"I said regiment commander, you look down on people too much, but I heard that you and the commander-in-chief were in Qihar, but only one cavalry company was dispatched, and all three battalions of Tsarist Russia's road escort team were annihilated."
Duan Feng smiled and said, but from his tone, he could still hear some unconvinced, and even for this matter, Duan Feng was still a little unconvinced, but because the cavalry battalion dispatched a company at that time, and more than a hundred soldiers participated, it was rumored that the cavalry regiment had noses and eyes, so you couldn't believe it.
Yue Xiaodong could naturally hear Duan Feng's disbelief and disbelief, but he didn't want to refute it directly, so he just said lightly: "It's different, that battle not only had more than a hundred soldiers in the cavalry company, but also a special combat team, and more importantly, because the commander-in-chief personally participated. ”
Although he admired the achievements and strength of the Black Dragon Army, he really didn't believe in the rumored Yue Weihua's fairy-like methods, for Duan Feng, who had received a Western-style education, he would rather believe that Yue Weihua was engaging in a personality cult, but Duan Feng couldn't refute this, so he had to avoid the important and asked: "Is the special combat team so powerful?" ”
"Hehe, originally you had the opportunity to join the special combat team, but I think that it is more suitable for your development to stay in the cavalry regiment, so I will do my best to keep you, of course, this is also your voluntary choice, even if you regret it in the future, you can't blame me." Yue Xiaodong smiled strangely, and continued: "However, this special combat team is indeed powerful, I will not deny this, although I am a little envious and jealous, but we can't not tell the truth." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, take the battle you just mentioned, why was it possible to completely annihilate the three battalions of Tsarist Russia, in fact, the biggest credit is the special combat team, at that time the special combat team used sixty mortars, and the lethality caused by these sixty mortars at least directly abolished seventy or eighty percent of Lao Maozi's skills, and the cavalry company just rushed into the battlefield to kill a round trip, and the special combat team also killed, although they arrived so many minutes late, but the enemy they killed will definitely not be less than our cavalry company?" Yue Xiaodong said truthfully.
"Such a cow, the mortar can hit so well?" Duan Feng was a little unconvinced.
"Haha, don't believe it, the members of the special combat team, according to the commander-in-chief's requirements, that is, they must know everything, and they have to be fine, what is it to fight mortars, field artillery and heavy artillery, they can also do it, not only that, but even ships have to be able to drive." Yue Xiaodong continued with jealousy: "Of course, the special combat team can be so good, it is inseparable from the partiality of our commander-in-chief, no matter what good things there are, they must be close to the special combat team first, just those two wheels, what is called a Harley motorcycle, see if there is any, good things, it is also equipped from the special combat team." Our cavalry regiment hasn't even fished out a single one yet. ”
"This?" Duan Feng was obviously still a little skeptical, even in the Western Ocean. He had never heard of such a powerful army, but Yue Xiaodong. Apparently there was no reason to lie to him.
"Haha, still don't believe me?" Yue Xiaodong smiled, and then said: "Then I broke the news with you, you think it's even more unbelievable, our commander-in-chief has just returned from Qihar, you know?" ”
"Yes, I've heard of it." Duan Feng nodded.
"Then believe it or not, the commander-in-chief took half a special combat team, and one hundred and sixty people completely annihilated a cavalry brigade of Tsarist Russia, plus half an infantry brigade." Yue Xiaodong said bluntly.
"I don't believe it."
Duan Feng replied almost without thinking. More than 100 people, killed five or six thousand people, that is not five or six thousand pigs, but five or six thousand old Maozi who has been through a hundred battles, this killed him Duan Feng didn't believe it.
"Hehe, I know you don't believe it, but ah, if you ask the veterans of our regiment, they will definitely answer without hesitation. I believe. Yue Xiaodong smiled faintly, and then continued: "Okay, the time is almost up, don't bother thinking about these things." When you return to the Wolf Domain, you will naturally understand, now. It's your time to perform. ”
"Yes, Captain." Duan Feng heard this. also let go of his doubts, Yue Xiaodong was right. Since he has joined the Black Dragon Army, he will definitely learn about it in the future.
After Duan Feng let go of his doubts, only perseverance remained on his face, this battle was the first battle for him Duan Feng to join the Black Dragon Army, so he naturally had to hand over a satisfactory answer sheet in order to be worthy of the regiment leader's other eyes.
"The mortar company prepares, the artillery is fired after three minutes, and the shelling time is five minutes."
"The rest of the battalion, charge with me, the moment the cannon fires, it is the beginning of the charge."
……
The cavalry regiment was called the "bandit regiment", not only because their main force was composed of beards, but more importantly, their combat style was known for being domineering, fierce and unreasonable.
Obviously, Duan Feng, the acting battalion commander with multiple backgrounds, inherited the combat style of the cavalry regiment very well, started with a fierce artillery bombardment, and used the brutal cavalry to kill as a sharp sword, and after a few rounds, he tore the sleeping Russian cavalry battalion apart, and there was no chance to escape, and the cavalry battalion of 500 people was slaughtered in the town, giving Yue Xiaodong a satisfactory answer, and also making a good start for himself to join the Black Dragon Army.
Just when Duan Feng led his subordinates to rush and kill, the 102nd Regiment, which was hundreds of kilometers away, also officially opened the prelude to the war with the Tsarist Russian Northern Route Army, under the leadership of the regiment commander Nie Youcai and the chief of staff Luo Qing, the 102nd Regiment launched an attack on the two regiments of the Tsarist Russian vanguard troops.
1,500 people against more than 4,000 people, the brave Black Dragon Army was not timid, the same mortars opened the way, 90 mortars, in five minutes, more than 1,000 shells were all gone, and then more than 1,000 people stepped on the end of the shelling, riding war horses and rushing into the temporary barracks of Tsarist Russia.
The attack mode of the Black Dragon Army has almost formed a fixed situation, first the mortar opens the way, the enemy is dizzy, and then the cannon is stepped on to charge, then the result of the battle is almost doomed.
Of course, if you want to achieve perfect results, there are two most important reasons, one is the enemy's carelessness, the distance between the light and dark posts is too close, and the enemy's attack cannot be detected at the first time, I believe that when the Tsarist military understands this, the Black Dragon Army wants to win the war so easily, I am afraid it is unlikely, and the second is their own side, one step ahead of the accurate intelligence, only the intelligence occupies an absolute advantage, can achieve an early advantage.
At this point in 1900, most countries are still in the initial stage of intelligence, and do not attach great importance to it, on the other hand, although the Black Dragon Army was established late, but intelligence has received the greatest attention and the fastest development, which is at this stage, the reason for the attack can be taken advantage of and launched, of course, these are also inseparable, the Black Dragon Army's powerful artillery advantages, and the increasingly skilled cooperation of infantry artillery.
